Your Profile

We have had both interested clients and other practitioners fielding inquires about "who has done the Upper Quadrant Course in the Northern suburbs?" Why not have FREE advertising

and clients coming to YOUR door. You have already done the hard work (come to the course and stretched your grey matter). All you need to do is update your Profile page on our website - your details, clinic hours and contact information. Easy. Then people can use the search AAP Practitioner function and PRESTO - here they come.....

The Education Fund

From personal experience we notice the growing requirement of new and recent graduates to attend quality, regular professional development. At the same time practice principals in small clinics are increasingly under management load; legal, taxation, superannuation, marketing, and other compliance requirements. When it comes to new staff recruitment or possibly existing staff retention, the small practices struggles to be attractive against larger practices, with inbuilt new graduate training programs, practitioners with specialty skills in a variety of areas and bigger budgets with economies of scale. Sound familiar?

It doesn't have to be that way with our turnkey service The Education Fund, because all the work is done for you. Investing in your staff is an immediate benefit for your clients and your clinic. Put simply, you can now offer existing staff and new potential staff, a suite of professional development opportunities. You decide how many courses you want to invest in and your staff can choose which specific course(s) they wish to attend.

Your Benefits

• Ability to offer attractive professional development courses as part of staff recruitment and retention
• Flexibility for staff to choose their own professional development courses
• No professional development planning or presentation of staff inservices
• Preferred notification before general advertisement
• High Quality AAP Education benefits - secure website, 100% Satisfaction Guarantee, accredited courses with hour-for-hour national registration requirements & course completion certificate

How Does The Education Fund Work?

• You select and pay via SHOP a Education Fund Package
• You receive a special coupon code that staff use when booking their course
• You inform staff of their entitlement to attend a certain number of courses per year
• Staff select course, enrol online and 'pay' using provided coupon code (% saving on normal course fee)
• You receive Preferred Notification status; emails and newsletters of upcoming courses before general advertisement

As an idea, you could offer a professional development course as part of your clinic reward program or annual prize
